We flew into Singapore from Sydney, arriving in the late afternoon. Plane arrived into Singapore on time, easy through controls and money changer. Pickup transfer from Singapore Holidays and off through the darkening streets to the Grand Pacific Hotel on Victoria Street. Aged but good enough. Good size room with everything one needs.
A walk, a snack and off to bed with the aircon on. In the morning packed our bags and left them at the hotel reception, the off to DO Singapore.
By the late afternoon were exhausted, so back to the hotel, swam in their lovely pool, all to ourselves, then a fine dinner (Minestrone soup, fat wedges, fried rice and fruit platter) before being picked up by our transfer mini bus.
The Grand Pacific Hotel in Singapore
This hotel was in the cheapest category for the Singapore Holiday Package. And extremely good value to us. It is not what I would call a budget hotel. Clean, well organised, professional staff and a very nice café/restaurant on site. What makes it cheaper is the age, the tiredness of some of the décor and basically all a bit dated. The room was large, both times. Once on 5th floor and on the second visit on the 14th floor. The hotel is conveniently located, close to the hop-on-bus and the tourist centre of Singapore.
